When things have gone wrong for so long that you do not remember right... sometimes you are as blind to the good you do and receive that is all around you right now. Sometimes you see so much bad you begin to think that bad is all there is. Sometimes you think you have sinned so much that it is just part of who you really are. Sometimes those around you have sinned so much you begin to think that this life has no joys and was not made for such happy things. There are some problems with thinking like this.
When you are in such a state you miss what God has put right there in front of you and inside of you. And, when you view life as suffering you may lose sight of the purpose of suffering that God has intended, as though it were without benefit. Both of these views do not comport with the truth.
May the Lord have mercy upon the downtrodden. Who else will lift them up?
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” -II Corinthians 12:9

Thank you for posting this--a good reminder.
I often try to remind myself of things- and anyone else who wants to can read along. You are welcome, though. May the Lord bless you and keep you and cause the light of His face to shine upon you.
